c west front bumper how low?

Ok guys im thinking of going with a c west front and rear bumper combo and some madaspeed gtc sideskirts.IMO I think it compliments the rx 7 the best but im sure theres other bodukits that do the same.Anyways Ive seen a couple of you sporting the c west stuff and im wondering how much lower the c west front bumper is.Ive taken the small stock bumper add on off because I kept scraping it.Anyhow im just wondering what the ground clearance for the c west bumper is and would getting some 18 inch rims raise the car enough to make the c west bumper hallway practical and not a nightmare to drive.Meaning that id worry about hitting a small dip and destryoing my entire front end.Also what are the c-west bumpers made out of.Polyurethane or fiberglass?Thanx

I think even the real C-west is fiberglass, but strong fiberglass.

If you can't handle stock with the lip, you won't be any better with the C-west.

18's won't raise the car any higher unless you go with a large tire which will affect wheel fitment.

I think you can get the C-west bumper in Urethane from the Japanese website.
